The movie (and the novel) portrayed an active-aggressive policing of citizens. What is described in this article (even if perhaps exaggerated) is not unlike what the movie portrays, but in passive form.
The concluding paragraph--on adults trying to educate/entertain/police youngsters from afar, without engaging with them--is scary for the recognition it evokes. Not only the UK is pretending that giant masses of uneducated citizens are to be dealt with sticks and stones, instead of books.
